Dear Valued Rotarian,
Thank you for your continued membership in our club! We have a lot to be proud of with all that our organization
accomplishes within our community and worldwide. In keeping with this year’s theme of “Creating Hope in the World” we
rely on your financial contributions along with your participation through time and talent. These contributions make a
meaningful impact with our many local, district, and global projects. In addition to your Community Service Assessment
(which is mandatory), we are deeply grateful for your voluntary support to the Ann Arbor Rotary Foundation as well as the
Rotary International Foundation which are outlined below
- Every Rotarian, Every Year (EREY) – District 6380 encourages you and every member in our
district to contribute $100 toward this annual fund, which in turn supports the district and global
grants and global grants awarded to our Club. For the 2023-2024 Rotary year, we received
$12,150 in grant funding to use for educational programs and international humanitarian
projects! - PolioPlus – If you gave a gift to our End Polio Campaign in October, thank you! If not, you can
still contribute to this worldwide initiative to end polio. Your contribution will be matched 2 to 1
by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. District 6380 also adds a 50% match, which
means your $100 donation is actually equal to $350! - Keep in mind that your donations to Rotary International earn points toward your first or next Paul
Harris Fellow award. Our Club even adds a 50% point match to contributions greater than $100 and
enable you to achieve the next level recognition!
On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you again for your generosity and your commitment to Rotary. If you have any
questions, please contact me at m2foster@att.net or Shari Faulhaber at shari.a2rotary@gmail.com . It’s my privilege to
lead our Club as we continue to make a difference at home and around the world! CLICK HERE to make your contribution today.
In Rotary Service,
Mark N. Foster
President 2023-2024
